Well Wishes & Advice

Yesterday we hosted our first ever baby shower.

It was a long, long day, but sweet.

It is the first baby to be welcomed into our little group of friends. We all laughed because all (or at least the majority of) the advice came from those who don't have children. So either the advice will be really good and unbiased, or it will be really bad and naive. Either way it will make them laugh.

Advice like:

"Listen to terrible music for the majority of your baby's life. Then delight in the moment when in her teens, she rebels and listens to your favorite songs."

and:

"Babies are like onions. Babies are also like metaphors."

but also:

"Call upon your friends when you need it. They really do want to help."

We may be sarcastic and silly 99.99% of the time, but this little gal will be so loved by us all. Our very first friend-niece. I cannot wait to meet her sometime this month. She will be so loved. She already is.

I am so proud of the mobile I made them. It turned out to be such a happy little gift, and I'm glad I took the time to make it (even though it was a huge pain, and much more difficult than I originally thought it would be.)
